Davis Phinney Foundation
Our mission: to help people living with Parkinson’s to live well today. To support that mission we offer specific programs, information and tools for living well.
Since 2008, more than ten thousand people with Parkinson’s and their care partners have attended The Victory Summit® symposia. We have invested $1.2 million in funding of early-phase research that focuses on exercise, speech, movement and other factors that affect quality of life.
“How can I help?” Be part of the Victory Crew grassroots fundraising program, and make a difference in the lives of people living with this disease. In the last year over 4,000 people supported us through their generous donations. In return we have inspired, informed and provided tools to thousands of people living with Parkinson’s disease.Click here for information about their Victory Summit Symposia.
